Who hoo! The Pensacola Magazine Wedding Edition hit the streets a couple of weeks ago…and what a response! We’ve been receiving calls from all sorts of folks: vendors introducing themselves, brides wanting to know where pictures were taken, and couples wanting to know our availability - YAY!

It’s been great, and we appreciate all the kind words of welcome we’ve received from the Pensacola community. In case you haven’t seen the Wedding Edition, it is on the shelf at Books-A-Million, Barnes and Noble, and all the other biggies around town - we even saw these on the shelves over in Tallahassee! (And if y’all can’t find a copy and want us to send you one - drop me a line and I’ll get a copy out to you ASAP! ) For our out-of-town groupies, here are just a few of the pages that Meg’s work was featured on:

The cover shot! Way to go Meg! This shot just exudes Florida!

From Tanya & Thomas’ Wedding:

Sara & Will rented this charming little antique car for their get-a-way down in Apalachicola, FL.

The fashion spread was the centerpiece of the publication - with an additional 6 full pages featuring Meg’s photoshoot!

We worked with some great students from UWF for the fashion spread - such great sports!

Meg’s work was featured in every nook and cranny of the local wedding directory (8 more pages!)

And the AMAZING ad that Meg created featuring Cristina — for those of you that can’t quite make out the text in there, I’ll explain. Meg was working on a concept for the magazine, and kept coming back to this series of images of Cristina’s face during the exchanging of vows at her ceremony. As Meg was examining the shots, she realized that the entire series was taken during one actual minute of the ceremony (no joke, we actually went back to look at the timestamp information!) …that’s when it hit us: 60 seconds with Cristina

On the left, she has the 60 seconds series and on the right, she has her WPJA award-winning image of Cristina’s expression as they were pronounced husband and wife only seconds later. At the bottom of the right side it reads:

It was, perhaps, the most important minute of her life … and I’m just so thankful for the opportunity to forever preserve those 60 seconds. - Meg Baisden, photographer

The concept was so genuine… one honest minute in your life … it just embodies everything we try to convey with our photography…its the little moments, the changes of expression, the rollercoaster of emotions - sometimes happening literally from minute to minute that makeup the entire story. This piece, though “just an ad” is so powerful, I think - and I am so proud of my wife for the work she has done here.
